and thus avoid mistakes.

The object of my invention is to produce a simple and effective deviceof the class de-- scribed adapted for the use of jewelers and otherssending small parts for repairs or inclosing additional matter for anyparticular purpose.

To this end 'my invention consists in the novel construction,arrangement, and combination of parts herein shown and described, andmore particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings, wherein like reference characters indicate like orcorresponding parts, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my invention,partly broken away, to show the construction; and Fig. 2 is a blank orinclosing sheet, on a smaller scale, that may be employed beforefolding, if desired.

In the drawings, A represents an envelop or its equivalent for thepurpose having one end extended to form a flap a, which flap ispreferably provided with mucilage or other adhesive matter in the usualmanner.

B is a thin sheet of paper or other similar material s ufficientlytransparent to perm it the carbon impression on one side to clearly showand be readable upon the other.

C is a double carbon sheet of suitable sizethat is, a sheet which isprovided with a carbon surface upon each side-and D is the lower sheetof paper or equivalent material betweenwhich and the sheetB the carbon Cis placed.

The end flap a of the envelop and the end of the several sheets B and Oare preferably secured together in the relative positions indi=cated,formingaseries of members, and a number of such groups or seriesmay be positioned and glued together at a to form a pad, as shown in thedrawings, each group or series being separated from the other groupsconveniently by short stubs or The several parts, preferably A and B,are also preferably suitably perforated, so that they may be readilyseparated from the pad.

The mode of operation is apparent. The carbon 0 being suitably placedbetween the sheets 13 and D and the envelop A-laid upon the same inposition, the entering of an order upon the outer surface of the envelopby the duplicate of the order to be formed upon the under surface of thesheet 13, which by reason of its nature is permitted to show through thepaper and be readily read from the other side, while the order is alsotriplicated upon the sheet D. When this is done, supposing the order isfor the repair of jewelry or other special matter the envelop and thesheet B may be disconnected from the pad, the article of jewelry orinclosed matter and the said sheet 13 placed within the envelop, and theflap pasted down in the usual manner. This order may go to the repairer,who after completing the repairs or filling the order replaces thearticle within the envelop and returns it, the repairer in the meantimekeeping the sheet B to protect his order and the jeweler having sheet Dat all times to compare with the order upon the envelop to check theorder. This is simply one way in which the device may be readily usedand one of theadvantages of its construction. It is obvious that manyother practical uses may be conceived of.

It is obvious that after having thus described my improvement and onemanner of its use other immaterial modifications may be made withoutdeparting from the spirit of my invention. Hence I do not wish to beunderstood as limiting myself either to its construction or the mannerof its use. By the use of the term duplicating in the claims Iwish to beunderstood as including the .repeating or multiplying of copies. Thisina hard pencil and sufficient force will cause vention contemplates twocopies, (B and D,)

if desired, and obviously the number may be increased. It is alsoobvious that the relative positions of the envelop or inclosing sheet Aand the sheet D may be reversed, if preferred, Without changing theresult.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a device of the kind described, the combination with a foldedenvelop, open at one end only and having an extension orflap of theenvelop, and a plurality of envelops and series being formed into a pad.

In a device of the kind described, the combination With an envelop openat one end only, and having a flap adjacent the open end thereof, of aseries of members arranged to reproduce the original impression made,and means for uniting one end of all the members at the flap end of theenvelop, their opposite ends being free.

4. In a device of the kind described, the combination with an envelopopen at one end only, and having a gummed flap adjacent the open endthereof, of a series of members arranged to reproduce the originalimpression made, all of the members constituting the series being unitedat one end to the gummed flap of the envelop, their opposite ends beingfree.
